While all you say is true, that was not my point.
In a nutshell:
This revelation will not exonerate Mr. Kavanaugh (not those who have the power to deny him a seat on the Bench, nor will it satisy the mobs of feminazis who want kavanaugh’s head) and it puts these guys in a position to be open to some kind of criminal charge or civil fine or both.
You may have noticed that whether it’s family court, domestic violence, or sexual assault the women’s word is 90% of the law, even if it is an obvious lie, and usually carries the day.
Even when it doesn’t the male is often taken to the cleaners emotionally and financially when all is said and done.
I get that, but here is my take: This story only has legs in the court of public opinion. And that only matters with Kavanaugh.
These guys are not going for high public office. Their friends would just laugh at this.
And there is no way this is ever becoming a criminal investigation. It doesn’t warrant it and never will. It would require a court of law, and that means all sorts of witnesses regarding repressed memories, false memories, the severity of what REALLY happened, etc.
Kavanaugh is exonerated because it wasn’t him. And I doubt there is not a member of congress that is not “guilty” of the things he’s actually admitted to.
